Killer value, pretty good food!For $14.99 you get soup or salad, your choice of meat sauce pasta, and a dessert !!Meat sauce had a good flavor, on the tart side rather than the sweet side. Noodles were close to al dente maybe a little past. Salad was fresh, good creamy balsamic dressing Spumoni ice cream was pretty good too. Service was good and friendly. The only thing that wasn't that great was the bread. Nice typical Italian interior. Will be back!

The hotel recommended Sam's as being good pizza, close to the hotel. They were half right - it was close to the hotel. The pizza wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. Not what I would expect from an Italian restaurant that advertises pizza. I ordered a pie with sausage and onions - the toppings are added under the cheese, and the onions were chopped - so neither the pizza nor the onions had that little bit of roast that you get from exposure to the heat - a little soggy and uneventful under the cheese. Maybe the dinners are better. But next time in town, I'll look elsewhere for pizza. Sorry Sam.

I've been here twice recently, and wasn't that impressed. I had the special salad and chicken parmigiana the first time, and pizza the second time. Everything is just kinda bland like overcooked pasta and watery pizza sauce. I feel bad posting anything negative when restaurants are struggling due to Covid, so I will say they have a large banquet facility and seem to be experienced in hosting lots of events.

Stopped in for lunch. Almost didn't go in as there were only 4 cars in a huge parking lot. I'm glad I did. Went for lunch and was very surprised at how good the food was. Had the chicken tortellini soup and Italian salad. The soup had. Great little spice and flavor about it. The salad was really good, my only suggestion would be to put larger slices of sausage as the dressing overpowers the sausage. Otherwise great size for a salad. Liked the place so much went back the next day. Had the chicken parmigiana. The sauce was very nice. The linguine was cooked perfectly el dente and the breading on the chicken was very thin. Forgot to mention, with both meals they give you nice warm Italian bread....I come to Rockford once a month so I'll definitely be back.

Best pizza I've ever had. If I could give more than 5 stars I totally would! It's nerve wracking sometimes trying to figure out what to eat especially while on vacation and ESPECIALLY kids. Thick crust pizza and garlic bread are 10/10!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very disappointed. We ordered the baked mostaccoli with a meatball. It was cold. My hubs ordered veal Parmesan. It was very tough on the outside with litttle sauce. Dry. Also not hot. We don't like to complain so we didn't. My bad. Think we'll stick with the pizzas. New cook? Bad night? Who knows.

We were raised in Rockford and surrounding areas. When we had to bring our mother's remains back to be buried we all wanted Sam's pizza! We lived close to the Harlem Rd store and ordered at least once a week. My siblings and I all live far away but couldn't wait to have the best pizza ever. I brought my Fiance for the first time after much praise and stories and she had to admit it is the best pizza ever!! We even have it frozen and sent to us in TN and to me in FL!!!!No need to order extra cheese as the cheese is plentiful,great sausage and pepperoni The food is great and the owners and staff are great. Any bad reviews are just wrong!Best pizza and Italian foodGet you some!

My food was horrible! The service wasn't the best. Parking was a joke! Overpriced and over rated.

We moved away from Rockford but every time we go back we go to Sams. The food is always so good and Gino is so friendly. We really wish we had a Sams Ristorante and Pizza near us. We miss this place.
